Paul, do you mean the Pensions Records? Medal cards are on National Archives.

Heather Ancestry have started to put medal cards on the site today, including the reverse of the card, which wasn't on Documentsonline.

Thank you Sick Parrot - I thought I was going mad. Was pointed to TNA MICs this afternoon and found my Blohm brothers there. Looked at Ancestry and they had nearly all gone! Wondering whether to pay for TNA docs - do Ancestry rollouts take a long time?

Many thanks for the advice Sick Parrot. I must hunt around for a college that does a course in Pushing Water Uphill - it seems to be a prerequisite for this geneology lark! Its soooo addictive though:0)
